already only got an inch and a half left on either side of the tyre to use, and a few hairs to scrub off..... i've only done about 10 mile on it!!! :twisted:

Can't see it lasting me that long to be honest :(

only the MOT to have done tomorrow, then i'm set...hopefully for a couple of rides out over the next weekend or so!
An inch and a half? :roll: Struth girl what a waste. A bike like that and after 10 miles you've managed to stay vertical the whole way? That equates to 3" of unused rubber. Get it over. Do you want to borrow my sliders. :biggrin 8)

Don't succumb to peer pressure, Kaz! Better to be upright & able to offer a lift home than to be the rider of the bike with no virgin rubber.

Isn't it just like a boy to want to get straight to it... There's nothing wrong with feeling your way for a while & enjoying the anticipation before going all the way... :wink:
